>> bret: quick programming note now, please jo us 10:00 p.m. eastern friday. this is serious for an hour special. "special report" investigates deity and deceit in benghazi. you will want to tune into that. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight, fair, balanced and unafraid. >> this is the fox report. tonight, the feds bust a terror plot blocks from the world trade center site. plus, the candidates hit the campaign trail a day after one of the most heated exchanges of the presidential debate. a nation watched as the candidates clashed over attacks that killed a u.s. ambassador. now each side continues to battle over the administration's response. >> to be clear, he was in the rose garden and he talked about acts of terror. >> the bottom line is i think the american people know the story keeps changing from this administration on libya. >> jon: tonight, the debate over the time line and the role of the moderator.

plus, one of the world's most recognized brands cuts its ties with one of the biggest names in sports. and now as the doping scandal grows, word lance armstrong has stepped down as chairman of the cancer foundation he helped create. so what should the rest of us do with all those yellow bracelets? >> jon: we begin tonight with details of an attempted terror attack foiled in the heart of new york city and word that president obama was among the original targets. good evening. i'm jon scott in for shepard smith. hours ago, we learned federal agents arrested a man who they say was attempting to detonate a bomb right near the new york federal reserve. three blocks from the site of the world trade center less than a quarter mile away. federal officials say the suspect's original targets included president obama and the new york stock exchange. we don't yet know why he allegedly changed his plan. what we do know is that we

were not in any danger because investigators say this was all a sting and the suspect's coconspirators actually were working with the fbi from the very beginning. >> the process that the fbi goes through of finding people who have expressed a hatred for the united states or of american institutions and willingness to attack them. then the fbi engages them via one of its own agents, typically, pretending to be a confederate and walks them through the crime. the crime, of course, is something that would have been impossible to accomplish because there was never any bomb material there. essentially, he is being punished or will be prosecuted and probably incarcerated for the rest of his life because of his thoughts. >> jon: still, investigators say the suspect believed that he had a van filled with a thousand pounds of explosives. and they say he tried to set it off with a cell phone detonator. that's when they grabbed him. and a short time ago, he appeared in court. rick leventhal live outside the district courthouse in

brooklyn. so what happened, rick, when he went before the judge? >> well, john, this was a very brief court appearance. the suspect has been arraigned but he has not yet been indicted. he was very quiet in court. barely audible in when answering the judge's questions. he was dressed casually in dark jeans, dress shirt and sneakers. he had a beard and mustache. he was not handcuffed but surrounded by five u.s. marshals. the judge read the complaint and issued an order of detention. the suspect now being held behind bars in brooklyn. he did not enter a plea. his next court appearance hasn't been set and court appointed attorney didn't d. not answer questions on her way out of here, jon. >> jon: what do we know about this guy. >> according to the fbi he came to the u.s. in january of this year with the sole purpose of creating some kind of terror attack against the united states. 21-year-old bangladeshy national named quasi mohammed asan nafez. he had ties to al qaeda. he also went on facebook they

say to try to recruit jihadists to help with this terror plot to in his words destroy america. and undercover fbi agent contacted him and helped him collect what he thought was a thousand pound explosives. they load the material in the van. the undercover fbi agent drove it to the federal bank downtown while he assembled the detonator and allegedly attached it to the explosives. they parked the van next to a bank. they went to a nearby hotel and that's where he made the video and then they say attempted to detonate the bomb with the cell phone. that's when the joint terrorism task force moved in and arrested him. here is the nypd commissioner ray kelly. >> we're still very much a coveted target by terrorists who new york is the top of the terrorist list in this country. i think this just reaffirms that. >> in that video, he reportedly said "we will not stop until we obtain victory or martyr dim. john, in this case they didn't

get anymore -- either one. >> jon: president obama and running mate back on the campaign trail today hitting key swing states. still lots of debate between the showdown between the president and governor romney over libya. last night the president said he called the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi an act of terror the very next day: governor romney said it two took weeks for the president to officially call it terrorism. here is the exchange again. >> the day after the attack, governor, i stood in the rose garden and i told the american people and the world that we were going to find out exactly what happened, that this was an act of terror. >> i want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terror. >> get the transcript. >> he did, in fact, sir. so let me call it an act of terror use the word. >> could you say that louder? >> he did call it an act of terror. [ applause ] >> it did as well take -- it

did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea of their being a riot out there about this tape to come out. you are correct about that. >> jon: well, here is what the president said in the rose garden the day after the attack that killed a u.s. ambassador to libya and three other americans. >> result of this great national ter that character or ellipse the light of the values that we stand for. today we mourn four more americans who represent the very best of the united states of america. >> jon: but republicans point out a few days later u.s. officials were not calling the attack an act of terror. in fact the president's ambassador to the united nations the following sunday appeared on five shows insisting it was a protest over a youtube video: ed henry live in athens, ohio where president obama just wrapped up a rally. and, ed, you have some new information on the president's time line on libya? >> that's right, jon. kerry lock was the voter, the

undecided voter who was there at the debate last night and asked the president about libya. he spoke to sarah courtney this afternoon and basically said after the debate the president sought him out privately and said look, the reason why i didn't immediately call it terror is i wanted to get the intelligence right. take the time to get it right that seems to contradict what the president himself said in that exchange in the debate where he said look i immediately said it was terror on september 12th. none the less despite this continuing confusion about this time line, robert gibbs, the top obama advisor today insisted that the president called it terror. take a listen. >> on two different occasions on the 13th, the president says i want people around the world to hear me, to all those that would do us harm. no act of terror will go unpunished later on the 13th. no being a of terror will dim the light of our values. find out what happened. >> now, republicans tonight seem to think that this is going to continue to be a political problem for the

white house. but can i tell you the obama campaign spokeswoman jen socky today told us she believes this is one of the best debate moments in debate history and said that the president was able to show that it's important to show leadership and not gamesmanship, jon. >> jon: a lot of debate today, ed, about candy crowley and how she handled her role as moderator. >> no doubt. i worked for her a long time cnn. i always considered her fair. very solid journalist obviously. she seemed to agree with the president that he did call it terror immediately even though she sort of back pedaled a little bit on cnn. take a listen what she said. >> did the president say this was an act of terror? these acts of terror. >> these acts of terror. but he was in the rose garden to talk about benghazi so i don't think that's a leap, sorry. >> so, it comes down to the fact that the president, in fact, did not say an act of terror. so he didn't call this particular one terrorism. he spoke generally about acts

of terror. democrats paskly feel like this is semantical debate. republicans have obviously the opposite view and think it shows something else is going on here, jon. >> jon: you are in ohio, obviously a huge battleground state. what's the president saying about the debate? >> the polls have tightened here big time. that he was why the president is back in ohio. he had a strong lead now it's very tight with mitt romney. today he was trying to down play what his aides are saying was a strong performance. they have declared victory. did he not do that. he was beaming so he seemed happy about it he tried to down play it perhaps learning he has lost his lead in the polls. listen. >> we had second presidential debate last night. i'm still trying to get the hang of this thing. governor romney continues talking about five point plan for the economy. as we saw last night the five point plan really boils down to one point. folks at the very top get to play by a different set of rules than you do. >> a source confirms to fox tonight that the president

will hold his election night rally in chicago at mccormick place. what's significant about that it's an indoor facility will only hold about 10 or 15,000 people i'm told. even though you remember the president hundreds of thousands of people at grant park on election night 2008, jon. >> jon: ed henry in athens, ohio, ed, thank you. we will hear how governor romney thinks the debate went coming up at the bottom of the hour. meantime some early polls are in. you will see what they have to say. and lance armstrong hit some bumps in the road from his corporate sponsors to his cancer charity. some serious set backs for one time cycling legend that's coming up on "the fox report." but i'm still stubbed up.

this comes after investigation by the u.s. anti-doping agency and the group's decision to ban armstrong from cycling for life and strip him of all his tour de france titles. armstrong has repeatedly denied doping but nike released a statement which reads in part due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that armstrong participated in doping and mislead nike for more than a decade. it's with great sadness that we discontinue our contract with him. they will continue to support live strong. trace gallagher tracking developments from our west coast news hub. he step down live strong chairman to spare the foundation from controversy? >> yeah, that's right. live strong wants to make it very clear, jon, that they did not ask lance armstrong to step aside. in fact they are saying it was all lance's idea. live strong had been a very strong defender of lance armstrong through the this entire ordeal and they continue to do so today, saying that cancer patients and their families are not troubled at all by lance

armstrong's whoas. but clearly lance armstrong believes that he is now a distraction issuing a statement that said quoting here: today, therefore to spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, i will conclude my chairmanship. we should point out that lance armstrong remains on the board of live strong. he will even attend this weekend's charity bike race in texas. jon? >> nike and radio shack are not the only ones dropping armstrong. >> i mean, no. this was like dominoes, when lance armstrong quit live strong a few minutes later nike dropped him and then radio shack dropped him and now we have learned that anheuser-busch issued a statement today saying they will end their relationship with lance armstrong by the end of the year. but radio shack and anheuser-busch can walk away. but nike is now being accused of covering up this doping scandal by paying off an international cycling authority to cover up a test that lance armstrong failed

back in 1999. nike issued a statement saying, quoting here: today or rather nike vehemently denies that it paid former uci president $500,000 to cover up a positive drug test. nike does not condone the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs and analysts also do not believe the charges. listen. >> $500,000 in the grand scheme of things is a drop in the bucket for some -- for a corporation like nike. i just don't really see how much of self-interest nike would put into doing something like that. >> that said, the investigation will certainly go on and experts say they will be surprised if the lawsuits begin to fly. jon? >> jon: sad day in sports. trace gallagher. thank you. well, folks all across new england say they felt the earth shake last night's rare earthquake. it was breaking here on "the

test results show infections with three kinds of fungus. jonathan serrie live in atlanta home to cdc. jonathan, if there is treatment for this disease why do the case numbers keep rising. >> hi, jon. it's because the treatment isn't given until after the case cases develop. most of the people exposed to these medicines never develop any symptoms. the antifungal treatments are so strong they can have serious side effect including kidney and liver damage. rather than subject healthy patients to dangerous preemptive medication, doctors are only treating those who develop symptoms. jon? >> jon: what are we hearing from patients who were exposed? >> yeah. they are upset. the patients who were extoesed to these potentially contaminated meds from the new england compounding center say they are upset. not only the ones who have become sick but also those who are waiting to see develop symptoms overtime. one patient who got one of the

steroid injections in question says his clinic sent him a bill for the shot. but very little information on its potential consequences. listen. >> there is a lot of people that are contracting this disease. there is people dying with this disease. and the healthcare system is the more the health i don't care system. here is my bill, pay me and deal with our attorneys later. >> so far john has no symptoms but remember fungal meningitis has a lengthy incubation period so as a precaution, doctors have warned him to remain vigilant for the next couple months, jon? >> jon: jonathan serrie in atlanta. there is evidence multivitamins may help prevent cancer in men. the supplements help prevent by 8%. auto and older took them for more than a deck dated. published in the journal of the american medical association and comes within recent questions whether

a victory. what think were hoping to do is being defeated by president obama last night. keep mr. romney's momentum going. i love these debates, these things are great. president still doesn't have agenda for a second term. don't you think it's time for him to finally put together a vision of what he would do in the next four years if he were elected? i mean he has got to come up with that over the weekend. there is only one debate on monday. he will only have two public appearances, one at the al smith roast in new york city tomorrow night. and then on friday a rally bikeoberfst. everything else will be devoted to debate prep. only two events between now and monday so he can get ready

for final faceoff against the president on foreign policy, john. we have been reporting for a couple of weeks now that that was there. he will give that speech but not this friday. they need the time for debate prep. so another measure of just how intensely he is getting ready for the final deal with mr. obama on monday. jon? >> carl cammeron in virginia with governor romney. carl, thank you. meantime president obama and governor romney are now clearly putting brand new focus on female voters. and it comes a day after a debate in which the candidates referenced women 30 times in 90 minutes. shannon bream life in washington with more. shannon? >> well, jon, in september, president obama enjoyed a 14-point advantage among likely women voters. but that lead has evaporated. there is now just 1 percentage point separating the president and governor romney among likely female voters in swing
